Ingredients
- 12 large eggs hard-boiled.
- 1/2 cup real mayonnaise.

- 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar.

Instructions
Boil the Eggs
- Place eggs in a large pot. Cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil. Turn off the heat. Let them sit for 12 minutes.
Cool and Peel
- Place eggs in an ice bath. This makes them easy to peel. Let them sit for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the eggshells.
Cut and Separate
- Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yellow yolks. Put yolks in a mixing bowl. Set the whites on a plate.
Mash the Yolks
- Use a fork to mash yolks. Make sure there are no lumps. They should look like fine crumbs. This step is very important.
Add Creamy Ingredients
- Add mayo and softened butter. Stir until the mix is smooth. The butter adds a rich flavor. It makes the filling stay firm.
Add Flavorings
- Mix in mustard and pickle relish. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the sugar now. Taste the filling for seasoning.
Fill the Eggs
- Spoon filling into a piping bag. Pipe the mix into egg whites. Fill them until they look tall. It looks very professional this way.
Garnish and Serve
- Dust the tops with smoked paprika. Sprinkle fresh chives on top. Keep them cold until you serve. Enjoy your delicious Million Dollar eggs!
Notes
- Use eggs that are not too fresh.
- Older eggs are much easier to peel.
- Make sure your butter is very soft.
- Cold butter will leave lumps in filling.
- Use a piping bag for a pretty look.
- A plastic bag with a cut corner works too.
- Do not skip the ice bath step.
- It stops the eggs from overcooking.
- Overcooked eggs have a green ring.
- We want bright yellow yolks for beauty.
- Add a tiny bit of pickle juice.
- It adds a nice tangy zing.
